Let’s see how well this CPU can hold up in games.

GTA V

When it comes to GTAV at 4K we see that the system manages to run the game at an average FPS of 79 with the Ryzen CPU. The minimum FPS, in this case, is 30. Overclocking the CPU gives us a small boost in performance.

There is only a small difference in the performance of the AMD CPU and the Intel 6900K which barely beats the AMD CPU.

Ashes of The Singularity

The AMD CPU, in this case, managed an average FPS of 79. The 6900K pushed away well beyond the margin of error and managed to run the game at an average FPS of 96.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Checking out Rise of the Tomb Raider, the AMD chip is able to manage 54 FPS and the Intel chip, on the other hand, runs the game at 56 FPS. This difference is very small and is in the margin of error.

We can see that the difference in performance is very small in some games but larger in others.
